How to redact a screenshot
A chat, an inbox, or a bank-app screenshot often shows an email, a phone number, or an account in the corner. Cover those before you post it. The sample uses sample.person@example.com. One image uses 10 of the 25 free credits, so a single screenshot does not need a pack. Redaction stays private, secure, and in your control.
- 1Upload the PNG, JPEG, or WebP screenshot.
- 2Draw a cover over the email, account, and any code.

Frequently asked questions
Can I redact a screenshot?
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP, draw a rectangle over the email, phone, account, or code, and download. The sample uses sample.person@example.com and account 0000 0000 0000.
Does AnyRedact find text in a screenshot automatically?
No. Automatic detection runs on PDF text. A screenshot is a picture, so you place every cover yourself. Check the header and the corner of the image, not only the message.
Is one screenshot inside the free credits?
One image uses 10 of the 25 free credits, so a single screenshot does not need a pack. Download asks for a one-time email code.
Does the download still contain the hidden text?
The cover is painted into the image. The after side of this example omits the covered email, account, and code, so those values are not left to copy.
